+//! Read-arm projection codegen — deterministic `impl From<Row> for Domain`
+//! scaffolds emitted from a column→field projection recipe (see
+//! [`emit_projection_adapters`]).
+//!
+//! This is the READ twin of [`crate::emit_do_adapters`]: where that module
+//! emits the DO/behavioral arm (method scaffolds from `ActionDef`
+//! signatures), this module emits the **Pattern A** projection — the
+//! private `XRow` (MySQL columns 1:1) → public domain struct mapping that
+//! a consumer today hand-writes as `impl From<XRow> for Domain`. The
+//! furnace's "no hand-roll" rule (`CODEGEN-PARITY-SESSION-SPLIT.md`) makes
+//! this the generator arm that retires that residue.
+//!
+//! Corpus-agnostic by construction: only the typed [`ProjectionClass`] /
+//! [`FieldProjection`] structs live here — the caller builds them from the
+//! consumer's real row/domain shapes (or, later, from a ruff harvest of
+//! the source read-mapping). Output is fully deterministic (stable sort on
+//! classes; field order preserved from the recipe, which is itself the
+//! domain struct's declaration order) so it is diffable as a golden
+//! artifact across regenerations.
+//!
+//! # The projection vocabulary
+//!
+//! Each domain field is filled by exactly one [`FieldSource`] — the closed
+//! set of transforms the Pattern-A projections actually use. A field whose
+//! transform is not yet in this set is a Core gap: extend the enum
+//! deliberately (Core-First), never hand-patch the generated output.
